Intro

O&O DiskRecovery functionality begins where other programs leave off. This software combs every sector of a hard disk, memory card, or digital camera to find lost files. Even when files systems are format-ted or destroyed, it is possible to reconstruct once deleted data.

Over 400 file types and version can be recognized and restored, including Word docu-ments, Excel workbooks, Access databases, and virtually every sort of commonly used graphics, photo, movie, and music formats (SVG, MP4, BLEND, AUP, JPEG, AVI, MPEG, MP3, WAV, BMP, TIFF, Corel Draw, Photoshop, Framemaker, Adobe Illustrator, and many more).

Various algorithms

The three integrated search methods use different technologies for data rescue, which complement each other perfectly. Use O&O UnErase for quick searches and sector-based deep scan on a drive that is damaged yet still accessible.

Preview function

Upon completion of the scanning process, you’ll be able to preview the recovered data. It supports various picture and text formats for the preview function, including JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TXT.

Using O&O DiskRecovery in an emergency

If O&O DiskRecovery is not already installed on your computer when trouble strikes, the instant installation is ready to help you. All you’ll need is a second computer and a removable drive (e.g., USB Stick, external hard disk). Start the installation on the second computer and save the “Instant Installation” on the removable drive. You can then connect this drive to the target computer on which you want to recover data, and run O&O DiskRecovery from there. Doing so will let you avoid a complete installation on the target computer, which in turn could possibly overwrite important sectors of the hard disk that are needed for a restoration.
